In autumn 2019 Lahti welcomes you to an evening geocaching event. The event's main location is near the centre of Lahti, with good public transport connections.

Under Glowing Masts 28.9.2019

The "Askotalo" square serves as the main venue, with tall windows and redbrick milieu. The event starts at 12.00 a.m. (midday!) when the Info desk opens together with the logbook. During the afternoon you can participate in workshops and competitions as well as do some shopping in geocaching shops - and maybe find some local geocaches!
The event reaches its peak with geocaching in the dark autumn evening, when the coordinates of night caches exclusive to the event are published. Come dressed in suitable clothes and good footwear. Charge your torch and UV light batteries and your phone too, and you'll be ready for geocaching in the ever darkening Lahti night.
The event ends at midnight when the Info desk and the logbook close. Although the main event is on the Saturday, there will be all kinds of things going on during the whole weekend.

Catering

Meal tickets will go on sale in the spring of 2019.

Arriving

Parking spaces for 400 cars will be reserved for cachers arriving with their own car. You can also get to the event conveniently on public transport. It's less than 700 metres from Lahti Travel centre to the event location. There are good connections by bus or train. It's about one hour from Helsinki-Vantaa airport to Lahti.
Address: Askotalo, Askonkatu 9, 15100 Lahti, Finland

During the event you can stay in a city hotel, in reasonably priced bed and breakfasts or then in a tent or holiday cottage at a campground.

Entrance fee

There may be a small entrance fee to the event, because of the nature of the event and location. This will be clarified later.

Reviewer notes

Use this space to describe your geocache location, container, and how it's hidden to your reviewer. If you've made changes, tell the reviewer what changes you made. The more they know, the easier it is for them to publish your geocache. This note will not be visible to the public when your geocache is published.
